According to news from this site on October 14, Seamus Blackley, co-founder of the original Xbox, posted an article on Activision later paid for this game.

This site noticed that "Guitar Hero" is a music game produced by Harmonix and published by RedOctane. Players can pick up the guitar and play a series of iconic rock songs.

The Guitar Hero franchise has sold more than 25 million units worldwide, generating $2 billion in retail revenue. Despite the early success of the series, the series, and the overall rhythm game genre, began to suffer from poor sales in 2009.

Guitar Hero Live was released in October 2015 and was the first new game in the series in five years. After tepid response and sales, Activision laid off many of the game's developers and sold the studio to Ubisoft, subsequently shutting down the game's DLC service.
